Re: [Paparazzi-devel] Opto-coupler to trigger a camera on Umarim

[Michel GORRAZ]

Hi Joseph,

I should work, as long as you correctly calculate the LED resistor (related to the current drawing of you camera's trigger input...)

Hi All,

This is my first post on the list. 

I recently got a Umarim from PPZUAV. 

I want to trigger a camera from one of the ADC using a 4N25V opto-coupler (http://www.datasheetcatalog.org/datasheet/vishay/83530.pdf) 

Based on the opto-coupler specifications I calculated that I need a 42 Ohm resistor from the IO to the Anode. and connect the Cathode to the Umarim GND.

The result should be 3.3V pulse from IO = Opto-coupler Transistor Closed

Am I reading that right?

Regards,

Joseph
